July 11, 2012, Chicago, IL - CND, the world leader in professional nail care, will have an exclusive, pop up-salon offering complimentary CND Shellac™ Power Polish™ manicures at the upcoming TASTE of Chicago, the nation’s premier outdoor food festival, from July 11 - 15, 2012 in Chicago, Illinois.

TASTE of Chicago, now in its 32nd year, draws more than 2.5 million visitors who will be able to experience CND Shellac, a breakthrough, patent-pending manicure service that combines the ease of polish with incomparable high-gloss shine and 14+ days of flawless wear. CND Shellac applies like polish and removes in minutes without damaging the natural nail - no soaking, drilling or filing. CND Shellac comes off gently with convenient, hygienic CND Shellac Remover Wraps that help to limit skin exposure to acetone by keeping the remover on the nail.

"TASTE of Chicago gives us the unique opportunity to interact with influential consumers, support our Chicago-based salon partners to help them drive business growth and spread the word about CND," said CND Co-Founder, Jan Arnold.

All consumers who take part in a CND Shellac service will receive a gift of SolarOil™, CND’s cult classic hydrating cuticle and nail oil, to help them condition and maintain the health of their nails until they receive their next CND Shellac service. They will also have an opportunity to win a CND Shellac manicure at a participating local CND Certified Salon through daily drawings at the pop-up salon. CND’s Shellac Salon Certification Program ensures that women seeking a CND Shellac manicure service are getting what they ask for by a properly trained Nail Professional in the Chicago region.
